Here is a general command line way to add desktops:
If you go to one of the virtual terminals (ctrl-alt-fn from KDE or
GNOME), the startx command can start a second desktop and associate it
with f8.
~> startx gnome -- :3
This will start a new GNOME session. 
When teaching my Linux course, I generally have both KDE and GNOME
